Many of these parameters can be modulated and automated! For more information, see
section ↑10.5, Recording and Editing Modulation and ↑11.2.3, Controlling Parameters
via MIDI and Host Automation, respectively.
In case MASCHINE cannot find the Sample(s) loaded in a Sampler Plug-in, a Missing
Sample dialog will appear and help you locate the missing Sample(s) again. Please refer
to section ↑3.7, Locating Missing Samples for more information.
This section describes the specific parameters found in the Sampler. For a general description
of the features and characteristics of Plug-ins (including the Sampler), please refer to section
↑6.1, Plug-in Overview.
We show here the Sampler parameters as they appear in the Control area of the Arrange
view. The Sampler also provides a custom panel in the Plug-in Strip of the Mix view.
This panel is described in section ↑12.4.3, Panel for the Sampler.
The Sampler parameters are organized in 6 pages:
▪ Page 1: Voice Settings / Engine: ↑6.2.1, Page 1: Voice Settings / Engine.
▪ Page 2: Pitch / Envelope: ↑6.2.2, Page 2: Pitch / Envelope.
▪ Page 3: FX / Filter: ↑6.2.3, Page 3: FX / Filter.
▪ Page 4: Modulation: ↑6.2.4, Page 4: Modulation.
▪ Page 5: LFO: ↑6.2.5, Page 5: LFO.
▪ Page 6: Velocity / Modwheel: ↑6.2.6, Page 6: Velocity / Modwheel.
These Parameter pages can be selected for displaying/editing via the usual way as described in
section ↑2.3.8, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Control
Area. For example:
► To display a particular Parameter page in the software, click its label at the top of the
Control area.
